The school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, outpacing the Knox County and Tennessee state averages in proficiency rates for core subjects across all grade levels.

Brickey McCloud has a significantly higher percentage of white students (85.59%) compared to nearby schools like Adrian Burnett Elementary, Inskip Elementary, and Norwood Elementary, which have more diverse student populations.

Identifying and supporting the specific challenges faced by these student subgroups could help Brickey McCloud improve outcomes and better serve its diverse community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote Brickey offers so much for the students. Most of the teachers are exceptional and the resources for the students are plentiful. The only downside is one of the office secretaries (mean!) and the fact that Brickey is always asking for money from parents. A few dollars here, a few there, it starts to add up. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
